Saw someone openly carrying a firearm this morning on the CTA during rush hour. No badge or law enforcement uniform. Didn’t look like 🧊 either.

Under IL state law and Chicago code, licensed armed security guards (private sector) are allowed to open carry to/from their workplace. I would presume that someone wearing a uniform belt and uniform pants while wearing a properly holstered firearm would fall under this provision.

He's wearing all black, maybe he has a vest or something he puts on with the logo at work. I wouldn't really worry about people with properly holstered weapons who are just going about their day (idiots taking weapons into agitated crowds "just because they can" are a whole different matter). You see a gun in a waistband or something, that's the person to worry about.

I have my annual review coming up and want to hear thoughts on what a reasonable raise expectation is. I report to the COO and currently make $94k + up to 10% annual bonus based on company hitting their revenue goal + I have 3000 stock options. I have 3 YOE in customer success but pivoted to a non technical program manager role at a series c tech startup last September. I have been getting consistently positive feedback at quarterly reviews. What raise should I aim for?

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally. If I interview again for a differenr role, would I have to do all the interviews again or can I use some of the scores from previous interviews. I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you
